Celebrity friends took to social media to offer sympathy for Kim Kardashian West after she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris on Sunday night.

Armed men in masks tied up and robbed the reality star at the private mansion where she was staying, making off with $10 million worth of jewelry, authorities and reports said.

She's since left the city, "badly shaken but physically unharmed," according to her publicist.

We're glad to hear that — but we were also sad to see that some on Twitter were taking the opportunity to blame the polarizing reality star for her plight.
